Can't "break" the GoR as long as the ACC is a conference

The media rights are granted to the ACC. 8 schools is the minimum number for a conference in FBS. Even if schools, including ND, left and got the ACC down to 7 teams, they could easily add an 8th and the conference, and GoR, remain intact.

Regardless, it's pretty moot in the short term. No way ESPN allows schools go to B1G and give Fox a huge boon without a fight.

How many schools would it take to break the GOR in the ACC? Re: B1G -- Maroon Baboon 07/30/2021 8:10PM

I still think these contracts aren't that easy to break. That's why I -- TDVick 07/31/2021 5:55PM

They would have to get enough schools to leave at one time that could vote -- ChrisLords 07/31/2021 11:57AM

Good post. It's in the best interests of the other conferences -- Maroon Baboon 07/31/2021 12:19PM

It would take a combined effort from all the ESPN properties including the -- ChrisLords 07/31/2021 12:30PM

And on top of all that potential payout, you have this perception out there -- Maroon Baboon 07/31/2021 12:32PM

It would be hard for me to watch them less. With the ACCN putting 3 games -- ChrisLords 07/31/2021 12:40PM

Too bad sEcSPN! Capitalison and competition. Something like this -- 91HokieBob 07/31/2021 08:55AM

Where are you getting this information from? TIA ** -- Stech 07/31/2021 09:04AM

Interesting. If it is made easy for OU and UT to leave asap -- Maroon Baboon 07/30/2021 9:47PM

BigXII isn't going to make it easy -- mrcaniac 07/31/2021 01:07AM

Because the increase in revenue makes the payout moot -- Colonel Jessup 07/30/2021 10:34PM

Don't forget this is Texas and OU, they would buy out a coach for 20 mill -- wwhokie1 07/31/2021 10:30AM

Then UT and OU should cut the check now and get on with it. -- Maroon Baboon 07/30/2021 11:00PM

Amen! ** -- 91HokieBob 07/31/2021 08:57AM

Got to dot some "I"s and cross some "T"s first ** -- VaTechHokiesACC 07/31/2021 12:55AM

ESPN holds the money -- M-I-C 07/30/2021 11:21PM

ESPN paying them the money for the exit fee is tampering -- mrcaniac 07/31/2021 01:11AM

Probably, but it is being considered ** ** -- M-I-C 07/31/2021 01:27AM

Tampering is anti-trust -- mrcaniac 07/31/2021 2:38PM

They will/are. Just trying to get that $80M to $50M or so -- Colonel Jessup 07/30/2021 11:08PM

My guess is that the length remaining in the GOR will help determine -- VTHokie2000 07/30/2021 10:01PM

The only way OU and UT leave early is through negotiation -- Tercules 07/30/2021 10:00PM

Clemson, FSU, Ohio State, Michigan to SEC -- OrlandoHokie 07/30/2021 9:07PM

Doesn't take much to start a rumor. But why would Michigan & O$U think ... -- Atlee Hokie 07/31/2021 10:13AM

They make plenty of money now and would just get needlessly roughed up. -- TDVick 07/31/2021 5:51PM

Yeah. It does not make any sense ** -- OrlandoHokie 07/31/2021 2:09PM

Ohio State and Michicken don't need to do a dang thing. They already reside -- 91HokieBob 07/31/2021 09:02AM

What's backing up these rumors? -- SemperFiHokie 07/31/2021 1:08PM
